The 20th Installment of the P.B.R. World Finals
in Las Vegas is underway and looks like the 2013 race for the title is going to
get interesting and we’re going to see some great bull rides. Cody Nance looked
awesome winning Round 1 on Moreno’s “Roy” and did it without his knots, J.B. looked
just like he has for the entire second half of the season winning second like
it was a day off, and a couple of Brazilian World Champs, Guilherme and Renato,
rounded out the top four. Silvano turned down a re-ride after “All Shook Up”
turned into a high leaper, and J.B. covered even more ground with the go round finish
and bonus points and trimmed the gap in the PBR World Standings between himself
and Silvano to less than 180 points. We could see a new world number one by the
end of tonight.
It appears the time off that Pozzobon and Proctor took to
stay home and heal up did both of them some good as they both looked fresh as
ever and like they never missed a beat placing 9th and 11th
in the round respectively. Matt Triplett may have finished twelfth in the round
with an 80.25 score on “City Lights”, but was easily my favorite ride of the
night, that’s what bull riding is all about. He was beat, bucked off, rode one
to the ground, may have even got a couple bareback spurring licks in there and
still stuck it one and put some points on the board. That was the best “rank
effort” I’ve seen in a long time. Last night started off with a bang, tonight’s
the rank pen and I think it will only get better from here. If you’re a bull
riding fan, I wouldn’t miss any of this year’s World Finals because your libel
to miss something awesome every time they crack the latch, it looks like a lot
of guys that have proved great already, look really dialed in and on their A
game, it’s going to make for some great bull riding.
